Wondering if anybody has any recommendations for a preschool in Garden City. Looking at Community Church, Cathedral and Lutheran, primarily (but would like to hear any other ones you like too). I am sure they are all good, but would like to know your thoughts as to:

which has most nurturing teachers
which has best play vs. learning balance (and most effective curriculum)
cleanliness and resources

Thank you!

We did St. Anne's and Cathedral. I am not for an academic nursery/PreK program but Cathedral strayed a bit too far from any academics at all. If I had it to do over again i would have done the Community Church. If you live on the other side of town Lutheran is popular.

I liked St. Anne's but I didn't like one of the PreK teachers and I knew my DD would get her because they gave people who were staying at St. Anne's for K-8 the better teacher.

There is an open house this Sunday oct 29, from 11am-1pm for the St. Joseph early childhood program which includes a pre-k. The school is on 4th street. You should call to confirm if interested.
